    I have installed bbpress to my blog. In the forum settings, there is an option for ‘registered users’

    however when i look at the forum, there is no link to register user.

    so how do people register to the forum?

    Thanks.

    I see. Can I have my own user registration process? I don’t have problem hosting and maintaining the database.

    Thanks.

    if you mean moving the registration form to the front end by using a plugin like theme my login then yes

    theme my login

    No, i mean using my own database user registration. as right now users have to register to WP, instead i want to have my own user database.

    like if you go to every forum, each forum has its own user database. thanks.

    bbPress is a WordPress plugin thus bbPress uses WordPress for it’s users.

    You can use bbPress shortcodes or widgets depending on your site structure so uses do not need to go near or even see the backend of WordPress:

    I have used the bbpress shortcodes and widgets, but i can only display the login credential, but not the register and not the lost password.

    i understand the steps are
    1. to show the register and lost password page, i need to create a new web page, and then put the bbpress shortcodes. I already did that.
    2. to show the login credential (user and pass), i use the widget. When installing the widget, it will ask for the url for the register and lost password page. i provided the url in the widget. Widget shows successfully.

    But when i click the register and lost password link in the widget, it only show me the new webpage with the shortcode [bbp-register], [bbp-lost-pass], that’s all i see in my new web page.

    Please let me know what i do wrong.

    Thanks.

    Do you have registration enabled?

    WordPress -> Settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php)

    Membership Membership Anyone can register

    A link to your site or some screenshots would also be helpful…
